Why travel by ferry from Symi to Leros?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Symi to Leros ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Leros. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Symi to Leros is an ideal way to travel.

No need to worry about travelling with your bike
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Symi-Leros crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will get on your bike in Leros to get off the boat.
It's much less boring than on a plane
Generally speaking, to get to Leros or anywhere else, the plane is the fastest way. The problem is that you are stuck in your seat for several hours. During the Symi Leros ferry journey with Dodekanisos Seaways or Blue Star Ferries, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience to flying!
Resting in a cabin
Although it is not compulsory to make the crossing from Symi to Leros by booking a cabin, you are depriving yourself of a comfort that the ferry is the only mode of transport to offer. Equipped with berths, private bathrooms and sometimes even portholes or balconies, the cabins are not unlike real hotel rooms. Even on a day crossing, enjoying the privacy of a cabin is still possible and much more comfortable than sitting in a lounge.
